Překlad

Translation

Pán Brahmā, který takto uvažoval, vstoupil do vody dutinou ve stonku lotosu. Přestože však vešel do stonku a přiblížil se Viṣṇuovu pupku, nemohl nalézt žádný kořen.

Lord Brahmā, thus contemplating, entered the water through the channel of the stem of the lotus. But in spite of entering the stem and going nearer to the navel of Viṣṇu, he could not trace out the root.

Význam

Purport

Živá bytost se svojí vlastní snahou může k Pánovi přiblížit, ale bez Jeho milosti nedosáhne konečného cíle. Pána je možné pochopit jedině oddanou službou, jak potvrzuje Bhagavad-gītā (18.55): bhaktyā mām abhijānāti yāvān yaś cāsmi tattvataḥ.

By dint of one’s personal endeavor one may go nearer to the Lord, but without the Lord’s mercy one cannot reach the ultimate point. Such understanding of the Lord is possible only by devotional service, as confirmed in Bhagavad-gītā (18.55): bhaktyā mām abhijānāti yāvān yaś cāsmi tattvataḥ.
